About Us
At Bark to Balance, we believe in transforming the lives of dogs and their owners. Our mission is simple: to show people how to communicate with their dog in a way they understand and provide leadership and structure so that their dog will thrive and become a calm, balanced, happy and well-behaved member of the family. We offer private lessons that are tailored to your dog's needs and your goals. With our help, you can build a stronger bond with your furry friend and enjoy a happier, more harmonious life together.
Janine has trained and worked with dogs for almost 20 years. She started training dogs because she wanted to help others have loving, long lasting, healthy and balanced relationships with their dogs. She also wanted to reduce the number of dogs being turned into shelters because of behavior problems that could be resolved through training.
Janine lives in Naples, Florida with her human and furry family which includes her pack of 4 dogs. In addition to training dogs, Janine is also a former Elementary and Special Education teacher and has an extensive background in behavior modification that she brings to her training.

Whether you have a dog with major behavior problems or a new puppy just starting out Janine would love to help.
